- The honor one has in upholding a standard that has been set before them.
- Tabling - reaching out to students and having conversations about issues, experiences, and philosophy in relation to academic integrity and artificial intelligence.
- The intersection of law and integrity - what it means to follow the rules and uphold said rules - and be a display of the rules followed. The ability to be that student which shows others how to do the right thing, acting as a guide, and a leader all in one function.}

"Integrity, The choice between what's convenient and what's right." - Tony Dungy, Uncommon

People often do not keep to the truth for the sake of speed and convenience. In order to achieve goals, it is only right to do it through the right method.

Integrity, to me, means being true to yourself and responsible and accountable for your actions. We students often forget how vital integrity can be; it is a foundation of our relationships with professors, supervisors, or even partners; it directly correlates to our values and morals.
